    How can you determine if someone has installed a keylogger on your PC? I know that these are made to be very hard to detect, but I would imagine that there must be someway to efficiently determine. If this was in a previous article, please provide the link. Thank you.

    You can download the trial version of SpySweeper, update and run a full sweep and it should detect any keyloggers. It will not remove it but it will detect if any are present.

    After you do that remove it from the startup by using msconfig.

    Most keyloggers hide themselves from msconfig and add/remove programs. The way to remove it is to first identify it and go from there.
